The 5th-graders at Cherry Creek Elementary in Springville decided to honor
past Americans by presenting the school with a wax museum on Constitution
Day. They learned loads of cool stuff about people in America who have done
great things!

On Friday, September 11, 2009, Cherry Creek Green Ribbon Week came to an end with a successful "Back to School Bash" in the evening. The night was filled with friends and fun and lots of prizes. The PTA worked hard to set up an exciting carnival that even included stations about fire safety, car safety, and bike safety. We look forward to doing it again next year!

Cosmo Cougar helped some of the children walk across the Cherry Creek Elementary lawn to greet bus students!

Cherry Creek Elementary in Springville celebrated green week last week. On Thursday, September 10, the students were challenged to walk to school! They were lucky enough to be greeted by the one and only Cosmo Cougar from BYU!

The children were so excited to see one of their heroes at their school. Many of them even got his autograph!

All students at Cherry Creek were so lucky to have author/storyteller Carmen Deedy come to their school on Thursday, September 3rd 2009! She was able to keep even the youngest children captivated for a full 30 minutes as she told her made-up story to them. The children were involved in making hand motions and sound effects while watching her face for the many different expressions she shared. Not only is she a great storyteller, but she is a great author! Some of her books include "The Library Dragon", "Martina the Beautiful Cockroach", and "Agatha's Feather Bed: Not Just Another Wild Goose Story". Thanks Ms. Deedy!
